One of the great lineups of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers came together when saxophonist Wayne Shorter joined trumpeter Lee Morgan, pianist Bobby Timmons, and bassist Jymie Merritt, as heard on the 1960 album A Night In Tunisia. The set opened with a fiery version of the famous Dizzy Gillespie piece, and the rest of the set featured originals from new band members.
